Resumen
[ES] Introducción. Debido al aumento de la población mayor de 65 años, se incrementa la dependencia y con ella la necesidad de
cuidados de larga duración. En especial las consecuencias negativas son muy frecuentes, y el apoyo social es uno de los factores que
puede influir en el desarrollo de estas consecuencias. Objetivo. Analizar si el apoyo social disminuye el grado de sobrecarga
subjetiva, depresión y/o ansiedad en personas cuidadoras de familiares mayores dependientes. Metodología. Revisión sistemática
que incluye 41 estudios originales obtenidos mediante búsqueda bibliográfica en bases de datos nacionales e internacionales y
búsqueda inversa. Se emplearon criterios de inclusión y calidad. El análisis se llevó a cabo mediante conteo de votos y test del signo.
Resultados. La mayoría de estudios eran descriptivos transversales y longitudinales, con muestreo no probabilístico y con sentido
negativo entre las variables. En cuanto a la asociación estadística los resultados eran heterogéneos, ya que en algunos estudios no
se encontró asociación estadísticamente significativa mientras que en otros la asociación era positiva y en otros negativa.
Conclusiones. El apoyo social parece tener efecto protector para la sobrecarga subjetiva y la depresión mientras que en la ansiedad
haría falta un mayor número de estudios para poder sacar conclusiones. Es posible que algunos estudios no tengan suficiente
potencia para encontrar asociación cuando si la hay debido al escaso tamaño de la muestra por lo que se hace necesaria mayor
investigación para justificar los resultados obtenidos.
[EN] Introduction. Due to the increase of population over 65 years, dependence increases and need for long‐term care too. Negative consequences are very frequent, and social support is one of the factors that can influence the development of these consequences. Objective. Analyze if social support decreases the degree of subjective overload, depression and / or anxiety in caregivers of dependent elderly relatives. Methodology. Systematic review includes 41 original studies obtained through literature search in databases of national and international data and reverse lookup. Inclusion and quality criteria were used. The analysis was performed by counting of votes and sign test. Results. Most studies were cross‐sectional and longitudinal study, with stratified sampling and negative sense between variables. Some studies didn´t find statistically significant association while some studies found positive association and some studies found negative association. Conclusions. Social support seems to have a protective effect for subjective overload and depression while anxiety would need more studies to draw conclusion. Some studies may not have enough power to find association and perhaps these studies have association. This is produced because these studies include a small sample. So, more research is needed to justify the results.
